FOREWARDA city and a school grew up together; without the town ofYork, the District Grammar School would not have been started.As York grew into Toronto, the Grammar School became thelegendary Old Blue School. Today, a sophisticated Toronto anda progressive Jarvis Co!legiate regard each other as continuingfactors in the development, not only of the city, but of a provinceand a Dominion. Without Jarvis Collegiate. this country mighthave been deprived of many great names, many famous minds,and rnuch so!id contribution to its general growth.The book beiore you presents the history of this school —Jarvis Collegiate Institute — through all its life from 1807 totoday, with its developments, its vicissitudes, its innovations, itstragedies. "Nil decet, Minerva Invita" was, and is, a seriouschallenge to serious minds, and still provides the spirit of thepresent Collegiate.The publication of this book was made possible by gifts,individual and provincial, but above all, by the dedication of onepresent staff member whose name never appears in the body ofthe book. Harvey Medland graduated from Ryerson's Radio andTelevision Arts program in 1958. After a two-year career with theC.B.C., he decided to graduate again, this time from Queen'sUniversity. He found his true vocation in teaching. Since 1964 hehas been in the English and Guidance Departments at J.C.I., andit is his love and labour that have produced this tribute tocelebrate the 175th anniversary in 1982 of a great school. Allgraduates, past and future, will be grateful to him for the endlessresearch and careful organization of his information, and for thememories evoked by anecdotes and photographs. Minerva willbe proud of him, and of her school.Milton Jewell9
